The Army kindly gave me one of their best ships, a pursuit plane of the “P-1” class. 1t is a fast, fight- ing machine, and I was able to do the distance from Washington to Mitchel Field in two hours and four minutes. Concentrated on Flight. 1 was so anxious to get to New York and not keep all the people waiting a minute longer than necessary that I concentrated on the flight, and paid little or no attention to the scene be- low, although it was good to be flying over home territory once more. The change from the Army plane to the amphibian was a matter of a few minutes, and we were off for the bay, I was a passenger in this plane. In fact it was one Of the few titaes in my life that I rode in a plane as a passenger, It gave me a chance to Felax, anti T had a fine view of the strange armada which greeted me in the Narrows, 1 never saw anything like it in my life. .1 didn’t know that there were so many different kinds of ships. Everything that could hoast' of a propeller seemed to be there, probably 200 in all. There were ferryboats, tugs, tank= ers, steamships and excursion boats, all decorated and apparently jammed to the rails. As I climbed from the plane into the police boat which was to take me to the Macom the noise broke loose, and from then until we reached the aBttery I was treated to more different kinds of noise than I thought existed. It sounded like the whole country had decided to let off steam at the same time. Reception Is Astounding. The reporters who interviewed me aboard the Macom seemed to be in the same state of mind as I was. With the din going on and getting worse every minute,” I met them in the after cabin, but the questions just didn’t seem to come. The reception was so astounding to me that I doubt if I would have been able to answer them if they did. They asked me what I thought of the reception, and as 1 said in the beginning. it was beyond the:power of description. 1 will never forget that scene at Battery Park as long as 1 live, How o many people managed to cramp themselves into such a relatively small space is a_mystery to me. The police certainly did excellent work in keep- ing them in line. T am afraid that it they had not I would not have sur- vived the day. And I must not forget the air show that the aviators put on for me. My, it makes you feel proud of our airmen when you see how wonderful they are. The escort of 21 planes which brought me from Washington also did some pretty flying. Tribute to Byrd. I spotted Comdr. Byrd's three- motored plane as it flew above the Macom, and at the Battery the com- mander was among the first to shake my hand. I wish him all the luck in the world on his approaching flight, and I am confident he will make it easily. ‘The more people who fly over the Atlantic from now on the betier for aviation. It will also serve to hasten the day of the first transoceanic alr ne. Lots of people had told ms about the typical Broadway salute of ticker tape and waste.paper basket contents, but not until this afternoon did I have my first experience of it. It beat a snowstorm all to pieces. Where did all the paper come from? I'll bet the de- mand for new telephone books will be enormous today. Mayor Walker welcomed me official- 1y at City Hall, and I received the medal of valor conferred by the city of New York. I am deeply grateful to the city for this honor, and I shall prize it among my most cherished possessions. Greatest of All, It is hard for me to write about yes- terday's reception. It was by all odds the largest and the greatest of ther all. There were so many incidents, many of them amusing, that a book could be written about it. 1 never saw 80 many girls in all my life. Many of them seemed 1o know me r well, although my own time's been pretty well occupied with avia- tion Well, their welcome made me feel good just the same, and if I had a thousand good right hands T would like to shake hands with them Then there were the decoration: Colorful would hardly describs them. I was amused at the large number of enlarged pictures of myself. Some were fine, but others I barely recog- nized. And the babies, they were out in numbers. I noticed particularly one baby carriage with a 2-year-old tot sitting in it. Both the carriage and baby were dressed in pictures of my- self. Two Distinct Celebrations. Fifth avenue was another revetation to me. It was like two distincr cele- brations in_different cities. Broadway and Jower Manhattan was, of course, magnificent, There aren’t enough ad- jectives in my vocabulary to tell about it. But Fifth avenue was distinctive, and 1 think the flags explain this. Those beautiful big flags floating in the breeze were a moving sight. Then, finally, Central Park with Gov. Smith and 300,000 others. The governer pin- ned the New York State medal for valot on the lapel of my coat, and then we reviewed that wonderful military parade. I am so grateful to all those men for that marvelous procession that again words fail me. I want them to know that I appreciate this as I do all the rest of the reception from the bottom of my heart. 1 haven't forgotten the ceremony at the shaft of Eternal Light. It was touching. and impressive. I was too voung 1o be in the way myself, but I have an idea of what our men did and I reverence the memory of those who fell. The tall shaft, topped by a crystal star imprisoning light ever- lasting, is a fitting memorial to the New York men who gave up thelr Alyge Ap dhe Mg WAz, apd dt was THE EVENING FIGHTS ARE EVADED BY FUR WORKERS Confusion Jars Convention, But Police Keep Order by Request. Presence of “plain-clothes” men fur- nished by the Police Department at the request «of the International Fur Workers' Union of the United States and Canadh, in session at A. F. of L. headquarters, today averted fistic én- counters such as marked vesterday’s riotous session. Exclusion from participation in con- vention proceedings of “outlaw” dele- gutes representing Locals 101, 105, 110 and 115 of New York, whose mem- bers are under suspension, was ac- @omplished, however, only after a con- fusion that threatened repeatediy to break out into personal fights between opposing factions. Protests of “'mob rule” and “packing” of the creden- tinls committee by leaders of the rad- ical group only served to speed up the operations of the convention “steam roller.” : Adoption of the report of the ecre- dentials committee, barring the 35 delegates of the ‘left wing" bY a vote of 57 to 7 was followed by a ring- ing -appeal to the international union to “cut out the cancer of communism” that threatens to “eat the flesh and bones™ of the labor movement. Lawyer Makes Appeal. Joseph Bernck, counsel of the union during the Boston strike, who made this appeal, warned the fur workers that their union is the last one that must settle finally and definitely “whether or not you are going to be dictated to by a group of men and women outside the labor movement known as the Communist party.” . When capitalists and the central executive committee of the Communist Party are allowed to dictate in union affairs as they did during the Boston strike, Berack declared, and President William Green of the American Fed- eration of Labor is “shut out,” then is the time to “drive the last nail in the coffin to seal up Communism in the needle industry and the labor move- ment.” Berack's demand that the Interna- tional Fur Workers “help the entire labor movement to eradicate this can- cer” threw the accredited delegates into an uproar directed at the then si- lent group of 35 on the left side of the chairman’s table. Threat of Ejection. Several times during today's session Oizen Shacktman, president and pre- siding officer of the union, came al- most to the point of blows with Harry Englander of Toronto, chief spokes- man f6r the radical group. Englander is a member of the gen- eral executive board, a former vice president of the union and is a mem- ber of the credentials committee, de- spite the fact that he led the opposi- tion to the adoption of its report. When he réferred twice to the fact that the convention was being run by “mob rule,” Chairman Shacktman re- plied belligerently, “The third time you mention *mob rule’ here, you are going tq be ejected. “I still recollect yesterday's meet- ing,” Englander replied, referring to the fact that several delegates nursed bleeding noses. He stood his ground, however, and warned that the action of the credentials committee in bar- ring the New York delegates would “break the international union.” Protest Is Vehement. At _one period. during Englanderk of the convention, the chairman inter- rupted him to demand: ““Are yoy work- ing in a shop?” Englander .admitted that he was not. * % i He got back at the chairman in the same way a few minutes later by put- ting to Shacktman the same question, “No, I am not,” the union leader ad- mitted. ", Members of the New York faction, protesting vainly that they had not been legally suspended, were hooted down by the “regulars,” one woman in particular protesting against the action of the convention amidst loud beating of fists on tables, shouts of “Communists,” “Reds"” and “Put them out.” It looked for a while as if the demonstration would not continue “purely verbal.” g The upshot of today's otherwise peaceful proceedings was that Chalr- man Schacktman told the debarred faction that they “would be given a hearing at the proper.time and at the proper place,” but that in the mean- while the “action of this convention is final.” As “guests” of the convention, the group of New Yorkers may sit in at the sessions provided they ‘keep the The convention will adjourn, as a result of a formal vote, not later than June 16.

They were immediately arrested. Vodum was sentenced to prison last year for insulting the Storting. His claim for $30,000 damages has just been refused by the Deputies, and this is believed to have caused his new outbreak. ————————————————— an honor for me to be able to lay a wreath in their memory at the base. Another “nice thing ‘about yester- day's reception was the dropping of 50,000 lovely blossoms )by air escort as we steamed up the bay. It was an inspiration and 1 hope many of them found a haven in hands of those who ‘were in the water parade. a There were s0o many things going on’ from start to finish that 1 couldn't possibly not them all down. It” was a wonderful day, and a strenuous day, more strenuous for the hundreds of thousands who were trying to see than for me, although I surely had my hands full all the time. It was almost like Paris, London, Brus- sels and Washington all rolled into one. although each was different in its way and I have no intention of drawing any comparisons. 1 now know the meaning of a New York welcome. I've often read about them, but they must be seen to be ap- preciated. Once is enough for an or- dinary human being like myself, and the memory of today will be fresh in my mind if I live to be a hundred. Lead the World. I can’t find words {o express my own- personal thanks. I am not.an orator, and so I am afrald I never will be able to put in words what I feel deeply. But please regard me as a medium for having concentrated at- tention upon the subject of transat- lantic flying in particular and aviation in general, and do all you can to en- courage onautics. I am convinced that aviation will soon take its place among the big-activities of the United States. We can easily-lead the world if we: do certain definite things. Kurope can teach us considerable. but we have the material right here at home for the greatest air establishment, commer- clally speaking, in the world.

Leaving Mitchel Fleld, he drove to Curtiss Field, closa by, where he re- newed acquaintances with his bud- dies of less than a month ago, and then returned to his apartment. The trip to the aviation grounds occupied about three hours of’ Col. Lindbergh's time. The program for the remainder of the day, in view of the cancellation of the Central Park celebration, was indefinite, but it was expected that he and his mother might take a short automobile ride in the afternoon, after luncheon at the Newspaper: Club, returning to their temporary home in time to pre- pare for the dinner which is to be given the colonel by the City of New York at the Commodore tonight. Cardinal Hayes will say the invoca- tion at the dinner forthe boy whom he met yesterday with this welcome: “I greet you as the first and finest American boy of the day. God bless you, and God' bless your mother.” Tired From Excitement. When Col. Lindbergh and his mother returned early today to the Frazee home on the eleventh floor of an exclusive Park avenue apartment house, the aviator was tired from the excitement of the most spectacular day New York has known since the Armistice was signed. The 500-acre Mackay estate, where the Prince of Wales was a guest dur? ing his last visit to the city, was transformed into a veritable fairy- land for the reception of the young fiyer and his mother. While scores of private detectives and Nassau County policemen kept strangers from entering the grounds, Col. Lindbergh and his mother were honored by 200 persons distinguished in ‘society, finance and other respects.’ John W. Davis; democratic nominee; for President in 1924; Mr. and Mrs.’ Elbert I Gary, Thomas W. Lamont, M. and. Mrs. Oliver Iselin, Mr. and | Mrs, Anthony J. Drexel Biddie, J. Pierpont Morgan, Col. and Mrs. Theo- dore Roosevelt and James W. Gerard, former Ambassador to Germany, were included in the list of guests. Honored at Dinner. At _dinner Col. Lindbergh sat at. the place of honor with Mrs. Kenneth O'Brien, a daughter of Mr. Mackay, on his left, and Mrs. John W. Mackay the host’s mother, on his right. Fac ing \him across the table was Mr. Mackay, with Mrs. Walker, wife of the mayor, on his left and Mrs. Lind- bergh on his_right. Mayor Walker sat alongside Mrs. Mackay, with the Countess de Bondoulofr, & niece of Mrs, Mackay, to his right. Col. Lind- bergh, attired in a dress suit, did not dance at the reception that followed. The reception was at the end of a day of unparalieled tribute. Never did hero receive New York's unique tribute—showers of paper_from win- dows—in such volume. Never was there such noise. The din of whistles of boats was appreciated by millions, who listened in on the radio. Mrs. Lindbergh shared in the tribute, ch reached its enthusiastic climax when Gov. Smith kissed her on the cheek after he had decorated her son. Throng Placed at 3,000,000. The entire line of Lindbergh's route up Broadway and Fifth avenue was packed solid with humanity from the curbstones to the boarded-up win- dows of business establishments. Most estimates of the welcoming throng were around 3,000,000 A round of dinners and receptions is in store for Col. Lindbergh before he leaves for St. Louls on Friday. He will be guest of honor at a private theater party tomorrow night, and on Thursday he will be officially wel- comed by the Borough iof Brooklyn. Mayor Walker will be toastmaster at the dinner tonight. Speakers will be Gov. Smith and the colonel. Bishop Manning will say benediction. Back to Starting Point. Lindbergh of the Atlantic, the first Vew York to Paris fiyer, came back to his starting point vesterday and was accorded a welcome unparalleled in 1] history. : The official greetings were voiced at City: Hall and Central Park by Mayor Walker-.apd Gov. Smith, but the truest gréeting was roared all up the bay by steamboat sirens and then on up the city’s streets from the Bat- tery to the mall in Central Park, packed tight by thousands who laugh- ed, cried and struggled against police lines to reach the.idol who'had ap- pealed to them as no man ever had before. : The aviator himself ‘said that the Washington togethe: said it was greater than the greetings to Admiral Dewey and Gen. tofore. who - accompanied Lindbergh in his flight from Washington, said " that compare; with this welcome. . Harbor Din Greets Arrival. oOn_‘the way up the bay to the Battery some 500 craft moved ahead, their funnels laying down a smoke screen which almost hid the Macom from sight. Be. hind were almost Aas_ many more and all had their whistles tied down Other craft all over the harbor took up the greeting and so, with flags fiying and firehoats Spouting _foun- tains, of water in salute, Charles /| Lindbergh came back ‘to- New . York. An estimated 50,000 persons,'were Battery Pack, on the gmund, in win- dows, on , and as the Macom peared they all went wild. There was a great surge toward the pler, in which women fainted and several DOHCQmAR Veteran shipping men and ' police ' bergh requested it, Pershing, which bud been considered [be open the most tumultuous welcome here- ! though the fauit did not lie with them. LINDBERGH MAY GO TO ST. LOUIS IN FLIGHT STARTING FROM HERE full to maintain order. A pande- monium of cheering broke forth, and Lindbergh, who had been in the cabin talking to reporters, mounted the pilot house roof and waved his laughing reply. He was wearing a dark civilian suit and he was hatless. His curly hair blew in the fresh breeze and he looked less than his 25 years. There was something ‘very boyish in his appear- ance as he stood there facing the surging sea of his admirers who cheered again with delight. The fiyer was placed in an auto: mobile with Grover A. Whalen, chair- man of the mayor's committee of welcome, and the car took its place in the apparently endless parade which for almost an hour past had been steadily marching by. Crowds Break Records. The crowds in lower Broadway were such as police had never seen before. The sidewalks were packed tight, all skyscraper windows were filled with heads as close as bunched grapes, heads peered over the roof tops and adventurous youths perched on cornices and window sill Many a window in the miles of plate glass must have caved in before the pressure of the packed bodies put for the foresight of building owners, who had boarded over practically all the glass along the line of march. After passing through the canyons of the financial district Lindbergh was greeted at City Hall by Mayor Walker and was reunited with his mother, who had come from Washington by train. ~ For the rest of the parade Mrs. Lindbergh rode in a car behind her 3on. She, too, was vociferously cheered. She contentedly smiled and bowed. Mayor Walker presented a scroll and then complimented the fiyer on his deed. “We are not giving you the city,” he said. “It is yours. You have won it."” The parade then continued to Madi- son Square, still through crowd-lined streets close-packed with men and women, who, waiting since early morn- ing, now struggled for a glimpse of the aviator who had captured their im- aginations and their hearts. At “the Etarnal Light,” in memory of the war dead in Madison Square, there were | brief ceremonies and then the fiyer continued onward to the Mall in Cen- tral Park. . ' Fifth avenue was as crowded as Broadway had been, and Lindbergh rode fts stately length as he. had through the narrow highway of the lower city, seated on the folded top of the open car and waving salutations to the crowd. State Medal Presented. In Central Park he was presented with New York State's medal of valor, which never before had_ been given to any but a native New Yorker. Gov. Smith_made the presentation, saying that Lindbergh was hailed in the Empire State as “an ideal and an ex- ample for the youth of America.” “New York is proud to bestow upon you her medal of valor,” the governor said, “not only for your achievement, which is beyond the power of words to describe, but in admiration of the personality which your exploit and your daring has painted for us.” The medal was inscribed as follows: “The medal for valor.of the State of New York is hereby awarded to Capt. Charles A. Lindbergh, 110th Observa- tion Squadron, ' 35th Division Air Service, Missouri National Guard, for intrepldity and courage of the highest degree in flying alone and unaided from New York to Paris, in the de- velopment of aviation to the glory of his country and to his own undying fame.” The ceremony In the Mall was the last public appearance for which Lindbergh was saheduled on his first day back in New York. .

FLECTION OF 58 INLOUISVILLE VOID State Court of Appeals Ruling Unseats Mayor, Sheriff and Others. By the Associated Press. FRANKFORT, Ky., June 14.—The State Court of Appeals today threw out the 1925 Louisville election, un- seating 49 city .and nine Jefferson County officers, all Republicans. The Democrats had contested the election on grounds of fraud. conspir- acy and violation of the corrupt practices act. As a result of the de- cision of the State's highest court Gov. TFields, ‘a Democrat, must appoint city and county officers to serve until the November elections. Those unseated today include Mayor A. A. Will, all the city Board of m 1 and City Council, court clerk and other municipal officers: Fred Nuetzel, Circuit Court clerk; Au- brey Cossar, sheriff, and sev:ral other county officers. Two years ago in a similar case the Court of Appeals held no election in ¢he case of the City Council and the I'~plblican councilmen were remov- ed from office. The_court in throwing out the election said there was so much eyi- dence of iilegal voting that it was unable to determine the legal votes from the illegal votes. Three Circuit Court judges in a decision which the Democrats appealed had held that there had been fraud, but not enough to change the outcome. — FLOOD RELIEF FUND CONTINUES TO GAIN Red Cross Reports Both Lo- cal and National Contribu- tions Slowly Increasing.

Hart, Marietta, Ohio, had a 38, in addition go Jones with 37, and Cooper with 35. Eddie Held, St. Louis, paired with Joe Kirkwood, Albany, Ga., each turned in cards of 41.

The tough Oakmont traps, hard enough in fair weather, were almost impossible after the sand had been well soaked. > Capt. Ted Ray of the British Ryder Cup team used one good shot to offset two bad ones on the second hole. He topped his drive, the ball rolling into the rough less than a hundred yards from the tee. His spoon effort was little better, but he then took an iron and slammed the ball a few feet from the cup to sink his putt and get down in par 4.

The French open champion was straight from the tee and used his long high irons, he best asset, on the Oakmont course, to good advantage. George Duncan and Fred Robson, two British veterans, were in such trouble that they needed well over par for the first nine, Duncan. getting around 43 and Robson requiring a dismal 46. - Boomer, after negotiating the frst nine holes in 38, one. over par, slipped on the first three of the second nine, taking one over par on the tenth, eleventh and twelfth holes. -He start- ed_his homeward journey 5. 5, 6.
